Manasota Move To Amend pressed forward with the Manatee Board of County Commissioners during the Public Comment period of their June 7 meeting. Jaime Canfield, William Dennison, Mary Sheppard, and Frank Dellert took to the podium to catalog some of the problems associated with corporate power from a local perspective. This was their second attempt to speak. On May 24, a group of Move To Amend supporters did not get a chance to speak due to a large group that monopolized the microphone. They persevered and returned two weeks later.
Let's get some democracy for the people. Amend the U.S. Constitution to state that corporations do not have the same constitutional rights as people and that money is not a form of protected free speech. Manasota Move To Amend is working on this in Sarasota and Manatee Counties.
